Here’s Why Charcoal Products Should Be Mainstays in Your Grooming Routine

Heavy metal may be great for rocking out, but it’s terrible for your skin. And the environment is filled with it, from our cars to cell phones and almost everything in between. But you can rid yourself of those nasty things simply by adding some of the best charcoal products into your bathroom routine.

That’s because charcoal works like a tiny vacuum, sucking all the dirt, bacteria and excess oil from your skin. This means that charcoal products are good for a wide variety of uses. Charcoal toothpaste can make your teeth whiter by extracting toxins from your mouth. Feel sore from your workout? Charcoal is like having your own personal masseuse to help reduce muscle pain. Charcoal products are kind of magical, and we think you’ll agree. Here’s a look at some of the best charcoal-infused products.
